2026 TRANSFORMATIONAL LEVERS:

The journey before you starts within. It can start with new or deepening relationships, new levels of healing, new jobs, or new opportunities. Change can also take the form of heartbreak, illness, financial crisis, or depression. These pathways all stem from either our health, our hearts, or our livelihood. We call these the three transformational “levers.” However your growth manifests, the following insights can help illuminate your journey.

Relationships & Heart: Water (33)
Health & Wellbeing: Discernment (20)
Prosperity & Abundance: Sun (19)

RELATIONSHIPS & HEART

WATER (1)

The great teacher of 2026 is water, the element of emotion, grief, and rebirth. Water invites us to feel deeply and to fl ow freely. In our relationships, we are being called to cleanse what is stagnant, to allow tears to baptize new beginnings, and to let love move again where it has been dammed.

Ask: What do you thirst for? It teaches us that to love is to risk dissolving, to surrender to the current that carries us closer to truth.

When inflamed by anger or fear, the waters become toxic, but through ritual, movement, and music, we return to flow. Water’s presence reminds us that connection, like tide, ebbs and returns.

The allies: tears, rivers, ritual, song, moonlight.
The affirmation: I flow.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

DISCERNMENT

The body, like the Earth, longs for clarity. In this year of rectification and renewal, discernment becomes the medicine for health. It asks us to listen, not to the noise of comparison or fear, but to the still voice of truth within. 

To discern is to see clearly without judgment, to separate what nourishes from what drains. This year, the collective lesson is to move from separation to connection, from labeling the self or others as “good” or “bad” to honoring the full spectrum of experience as sacred data.

Ask: What is true for me now?

Discernment leads to healing when practiced with tenderness.

The allies: autonomy, empathy, tolerance, connection.
The affirmation: All the answers I need are within me.

RELATIONSHIPS & HEART

SUN

The Sun is the life force that animates all growth, a radiant reminder that we are sustained by cycles of light and shadow alike. In the context of prosperity, the Sun speaks of vitality, gratitude, and reverent stewardship of resources.

This is not a year for reckless expansion or grasping. The shadow of the Sun burns those who chase glory without grounding. Instead, we are invited to cultivate warmth and constancy to bring our daily routines, our earning, our giving, our investments into harmony with light. 

The teaching: The Sun can serve as a surrogate for life force until you summon your own. This year, abundance fl ows through gratitude, community exchange, and right relationship not through speed or spectacle.

The allies: rhythm, generosity, grounded joy.
The affirmation: I rejoice and grow.
